It's a site that values science. One of its best qualities is pushing back against things like the human tendency towards confirmation bias.

Most of us here aren't 5 years old. We don't need lollipops, stickers and participation awards.

We need solid info to help us figure out what holds water and plug the leaks if it doesn't.

Politely lying to spare our feelings doesn't pay the bills. Figuring out where it's broken so it can be fixed sometimes does.
